When you ask what ground we can build hope on, the answer has to be on some other basis than ‘the riddle of history solved’.

No more time for spectating.
Tune it, count it, let it blast.
Cut it, press it, distribute it.
Xerox music’s here at last.

Ballet Mécanique (1924) and George Antheil's score both feel like they're "challenging" in the same spirit as something you could see in experimental electronic music and its associated visuals today
I wrote ‘there is no such thing as documentary’ because it’s illusory to take the real and reality for granted and to think that a neutral language exists... To use an image is to enter fiction.

Dan (Unseen Bookclub) gives us his review of Full Circle: A Life in Rebellion, a recently published autobiography that tracks the eccentric life of hippy icon Ben Morea through the tumultuous 60’s in NYC, as the founder of print magazine Black Mask and the anarchist group Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, through later iterations of his life off-grid and underground in the Southwest, to the present day.
“With Morea’s sparse words, wild past, and interwoven narratives, Full Circle presents itself as a timely document of intergenerational transfer. The 20th century is dead and buried, and its surviving witnesses and visionaries are fewer each year. We are now a full quarter into the 21st, and the landscape of struggle seems to have changed utterly from Morea’s heyday”

rare moment of a 27 year old Ben Morea seen with both his face & voice on film, in Garbage (1968, Newsreel), talking here about the necessity to reject piecemeal reforms or scabbing efforts during the garbage workers strike on the lower east side.
